PLDT Enterprise has strengthened its partnership to further boost the digitalization journey of Signabank Rural Bank of Sta. Ignacia based in Philippine province of Tarlac.
Prior to embarking in its digital transformation journey, Signabank faced challenges from intermittent internet connections, restoration delays, to inadequate network security. Each branch operated its own server, incurring significant expenses and maintenance challenges. It also needed a secure and branded email solution.

The bank also implemented Microsoft 365 with Advance Threat Protection through PLDT’s ICT arm, ePLDT, to enhance email security and branding, also providing more advanced and innovative operations for the bank. Furthermore, PLDT Enterprise introduced Azure Stack & Multi Threat Secure to centralize and fortify the bank’s core banking solutions and security. Javier Lagdameo, VP & enterprise revenue group head at PLDT Enterprise, emphasized the importance of the partnership as this significantly transformed the operations of Signabank.
“Our collaboration with Signabank reflects our vision to empower the banking industry with transformative digital solutions. We understand the challenges faced by financial institutions & we are dedicated to providing them with the tools they need to thrive in the digital age,” Lagdameo said. Signabank president Roman Belmonte Jr. said the bank is satisfied with the outcome of the PLDT Enterprise partnership.

We are well prepared to serve our customers better & continue our growth journey,” Belmonte added. With the support of PLDT Enterprise, he said financial institutions like Signabank, which currently has 10 branches, are actively embracing digital transformation to provide a seamless & digitally enabled customer experience.
